Think I failed!

Specializes in LTC.

I got 75 questions ONE SAT, no peds, no maternity NO drug calcs, lots of priority, infection control questions and meds. I feel that I overstudied and WHAT I mainly focused on wasn't even reflected on this exam! I think I studied from way too many sources, and even so, many of the questions were things I never even heard of. About this Pearson view "trick" how accurate is it? I just left the testing center about an hour ago.

Thanks:crying2:

I felt the same way.. and the pearsonvue trick at least alleviates some of the anxiety post-NCLEX. Log into pearsonvue and wait until your NCLEX exam says "Successfully delivered" if it says "Pending delivery" then it's still too early.

Once it says successfully delivered, then try to reregister for the NCLEX.. if the pop up comes up that states "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled the exam. Please contact your Member Board etc..." then you should be good to go. I certainly hope so anyway, I don't get to see my real results until tomorrow.

I just took my nclex-rn on Saturday, and believe me, I was in the same exact shoes - not many "higher level" questions, a lot of "recall" - so when it shut off at 75, I knew in my heart that I had failed. I even had to wait THREE DAYS to get my results because for some reason my results were not there yesterday (found out today, actually). Anyway, the moral of my story is: everyone thinks they failed, to some degree. For me - I was basically 99% convinced, looking at it from all the angles. But by God's amazing grace, I passed. And what's more encouraging for you is that the overwhelming majority of people who took the exam feel the SAME WAY. The last thing you want to do is give yourself an ulcer waiting on the results. Relax - and in the very slim chance that you did not pass, it is NOT the end of the world!!!! You just get back on the horse and try again next time. HANG IN THERE!
